Dude, how old are you? No one is going to sell you a Albino Ball python for $250, even if you throw in a Pastel.
PLUS..... all the permits and other paper work that must be done to import and export Cities II animals into and out of the country.
If you want to just throw your money away, please visit www.unitedway.com. They could use it.

wow ok I am old enough to know that this is prob. a scam that is why I asked for him to take a diffrent method of payment I was more asking if any one has ever herd of someone selling for this cheap now I got some good answers back and they are right the guy wont except anything else so I am not going to do it. Thanks for your comment but just FYI in some countries they do not have paypal but u can wire transfer the money to the airport but it still is not safe thanks again.

Royals in the UK are more (MUCH MORE) than what they are over there even with the exchange rate. If it sounds to good to be true it usually is!

I would have to agree. Just buy one from someone locally. Even if it is more expensive you probably will save yourself some trouble in the long run. I have personal experience with this. A lady wanted 100 bucks for an adult female lemon pastel. I was amazed and unforunately I went after it. I emailed her and then she lowered the price to $50. She said she would call me the next day and since then, I have never heard a word from her. Luckily, I didn't lose any money but I was pretty disappointed. I should have known better though, it was way too good to be true.
